Question

In a fruit bag, usually 2 fruits are rotten out of 12 fruits. Then the predictable number of rotten fruits out of 240 fruits in the same bag will be .

• A. 80
• B. 40
• C. 60

Answer 1

The correct option is B 40

Among 12 fruits in the bag, 2 fruits are rotten.

So, probability of a fruit to be rotten is $=\frac{Numberofrottenfruits}{Totalnumberoffruits}$

$=\frac{2}{12}$

∴ Prediction of number of rotten fruits out of 240 fruits in the same bag will $\text{be}=\frac{2}{12}\times 240=40$

Hence, the predictable number of rotten fruits out of 240 fruits in the same bag is 40.
